Shortly after the release of Sleep Well Beast in 2017, the National teamed up with 20th Century Women director Mike Mills to make a short film called I Am Easy to Find. They ended up recording an album of the same name, which is out this Friday, May 17. Now, you can watch the 24-minute film online—check it out below, via iameasytofind.com.

The film, which has shown at various concerts and screenings, follows a character played from birth to death without any physical manipulation by Alicia Vikander, the star of Ex-Machina and The Danish Girl.

In a press release, Mills says, “The National gave me the stems for their songs, some were sketches some were finished and encouraged and allowed me to create my own versions of the songs to score the film. The album then features different versions of these same seven songs—and nine new songs which sometimes refer to the themes, texts, ideas from the film—but are their own work, their own piece of art.”
